    debatable, I've never actually seen a rear engined saxo that actually handles and is usable for anything other than to have chavs drooling over it at car shows.


    ANYTHING is possible, just depends how big a hammer and welder you have.

    Ill rephrase

    Its an easier project in the back as its just choppingnthe floot and welding in a premade frame

    The front will need to fabricate your own i parts as far as im aware there is nothingnoff the shelf available

    I'd love to see some funky b16/18 engine conversions... Well over 200 hp is pretty easy.. B20 and you can see over 250hp

    Didn't a guy on here own one? K20a in the back. Think he was a member of metropower too iirc

    It was me. Mine did go round corners pretty well and with no chavs in site.

    However... Point to point there are much quicker cars on here, Jps mango, planet Sax to name but two. Keep the engine where it should be and be wary that it's never just as easy as 'just needs mounting'.

    Am I glad I had one? Yes.
    Am I glad I bought it built? Yes.
    Would I build one myself? No!

    It can be done but lots of hassle.. Very very expensive to do properly.
